Sources told the NFL Network that the Eagles traded a conditional 2020 draft pick for the running back. The Bears received a sixth-round selection in next year's draft, but conditions in the trade could change the draft choice to a fifth-round pick in 2020.

Howard's production dipped last season after the emergence of tailback Tarik Cohen in first-year head coach Matt Nagy's offense. Howard had 250 carries for 935 rushing yards and nine touchdowns in 2018, with his yardage total being the lowest of his three-year NFL career.

Cohen had 99 rushes for 444 yards and three rushing scores, but excelled in the passing game with 71 catches for 725 yards and five receiving touchdowns.

Howard remains on his rookie contract. He'll earn $2 million in the final season of his four-year deal.
